Regardless of the fact that they apologized, it looks like the Dixie Chicks joined the Hollywood Bunch in the land of disrespect and may learn a good lesson on how opening one's big mouth can have a career altering effect. I like the way the Bush camp responded. A 33,000 pound tractor makes quite a statement.
March 16, 2003 (Shreveport, Louisiana-AP) --
A few hundred protesters used a 33-thousand pound tractor to obliterate compact disks and other items by the Texas trio.
They're lashing back at lead singer Natalie Maines, who last week told a London audience -- quote -- "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."
Maines has since apologized in a public statement, saying her remarks were disrespectful.
